Mine have always been pretty good at playing alone, although the older two especially would rather play together. My youngest son though (2 1/2) can play alone forever. He lays down on the floor with a car or train or something and will just roll it back and forth for a long time. He's so quiet then too. It's pretty cute!

Yes. I love it! He will play with puzzles for a 1/2 hour. I swear he has them all memorized by now! He reads books and plays with a little matching game called "Hisss." I can get a whole uninterrupted morning if I need to do chores.

DS is 2 1/2, some days he's good playing by himself little bits at a time, other times, like this who week, he is litterly clinginng to me, crying "hold me" if I try and set him down or leave the room. He had a fit today because I had to use the bathroom and set him down.

Ds is pretty good about playing by himself. In fact when I am sitting around doing nothing he is quick to play by himself. As soon as I start something he has to have my complete attention. I swear he is a cat sometimes. LOL!
